Why Not Write


Why not write what makes you feel

I write to understand the things that make us real

It keeps me on my heels, my brain on wheels

To keep from the burn out being the end of my lifes movie reel

I always found it healing to ryhme with my times

Speaking the real truth has never been a crime

Why not write the words some can't find

Put into words what some need to put behind

Bring to life the world in black in white, time on rewind

Now in fastforward I've gained the knowledge to put my pencil to the grind

Now maybe my words can heel the blind 

Why not write to heal myself 

Why not wrtie to give some smiles that can go for miles
